Genesis 1:5 continued: God Created Time

on

 Genesis 1:5 continued: “…And the evening and the morning were the first day.” Not only does the order of creation declare God to be the author of light, but also of time! He made evenings and mornings and days before He made the sun moon and stars (Genesis 1:14-16). Before the sun ever rose or set, God had already set the world to spinning, and measured off three work days.

     For centuries most people believed that the sun rotated around the earth, since it appears to rise every morning and go down every night. When Galileo and Copernicus challenged that belief, they nearly paid for it with their lives at the hands of the Catholic Church, an iconic story that has been forced to pose as a poster child for the “God is incompatible with Science” club. “The Bible is anti-science!” bellyache many a skeptic and critic. But instead of blaming the reading of the Bible, they ought to blame the misreading of the Bible, for as we see in the creation story itself, day and night do not depend on the the sun. God makes plain that day and night come directly from Him without the need of the sun. That may sound crazy to you, but it is as if God is saying, “I am the author of time itself. Time ultimately does not depend on the heavenly bodies but on me!” 

  Don’t you think its time you learned to depend on Him too?

The Word of God is bread from heaven. God sent it, but we must gather it, appreciate it, digest it, and live by it. These days it is increasingly scarce. Many are starving for it and don't know it because they keep feasting on bad bread that doesn't satisfy. But if we would learn to carefully gather up the fragments of the True, Heavenly Bread of Life, we would always enjoy a feast of crumbs, because even God's crumbs are miracles mighty to save (Mark 7:24-30). ESPAÑOL: La Palabra de Dios es pan del cielo. Dios lo envió, pero debemos recogerlo, apreciarlo, digerirlo y vivir por él. Hoy en día es cada vez más escaso. Muchos están muriendo de hambre por falta de él sin saberlo porque se alimentan de pan falso que no satisface. Pero si aprendiéramos a recoger cuidadosamente los fragmentos del Verdadero Pan Celestial, Pan de Vida, siempre disfrutaríamos de un banquete de migajas, porque hasta las migajas de Dios son milagros poderosos para salvar (Marcos 7:24-30).
